In 1747 John Brown was invited to become the pastor of a church at Hlngham. There was but one opponent to his settlement, a man whom Mr. Brown won over by a stroke of good humor. He asked for the grounds of his opposition. "I like you and your manner," was the reply, "but your preaching, sir, I disapprove." "Then," said Mr. Brown, "we are agreed. 1 do not like my preaching very well myself, but how great a fol ly it is for you and me to set up our opinion against that of the whole par ish." The force of this reasoning appeal ed to the man, and he at once with drew his objections. —Cleveland Lead er. The Woman of It.

It has been his docile and willing servant for ages. It has help ed him to conquer the reluctant earth. It has eased and aided htm in the dull business of getting a living. It has played a greater part in human pro gress than many a race of men. Until man had made the horse his servitor and ally, the thing that we now know as civilization was out of his reach. The mere labor of getting hla dally bread consumed all of his energies. But when the first plow horse threw Its weight forward a new era dawned for humanity. Thereafter man began to have leisure to plan and dream. Life became to him less a matter of muscle and more a matter of mind. It was then that progress really began. The horse appeals very little to the theatrical sense. It is a silent, pati ent, undemonstrative beast, with 'lit tle of the humanlike emotionalism of the dog. It does not dash Into raging torrents to save Its master's life; It is not a destroyer of burglars and kid nappers; It does not cuddle down on hearth rugs. One rarely loves a horse, perhaps, as one sometimes loves a dog. But ln»those drab but in valuable virtues which distinguish the honest friend and true comrade, willing to take his share of labor In the heat of the day, the horse is with out a peer. The day of the horse, say the prophets, is well nigh done. In an other generation or two he will give way to soulless machines. We two legged mortals will eat him, perhaps, or watch him race around a track, but we will no longer need him in our end less battle with the pltless earth. So be It! Let him go - but let us not for get him. Time was when there were no devil wagons or gasoline engines, no locomotive or steam thrashers, and In that time man and the horse, labor ing valiantly side by side, conquered continents and made the waste places bloom. Keeping Its Fishers at Home. The bread which Indiana scattered on the waters has begun to return to her. More than live years ago the state tlsh and game commission began systematically to stock the lakes and streams of that state with fish. Util izing the many lakes in Its northern part as breeding grounds, the com mission succeeded in securing several million fish of desirable quality. These were then distributed about the vari ous water courses and lakes of the state. As a result it is now estimated that about $3,000,000 Is annually spent in Indiana by outsiders who go there to fish. It Is quite likely that as much more Is spent there by Indlanlans who previously went elsewhere for their sport. The cost of stocking the lakes was comparatively small. The handsome returns show that the money was well expended. Chicago Tribune. The "Luck" of Peacock's Feathers. The peacock's feathers superstition is nothing like so common as it used to be. Perhaps Whistler's celebrated Peacock Room helped to break it down. At any rate, Peacock's feath ers are ordinary enough articles of decoration in many happy and placid homes. There are shops in London that keep these bringers of misfortune at a shilling a bundle. Did the super stitltion orglnute because of the re puted pride of the peacock, on the "pride shall have a fall" theory? Or 1b It that the "eye" of the feather is supposed to see undersirable happen ings, which somehow get published upon the housetops? One rather feels that the beautiful tail was nature's compensation to the bird for giving it the most abominable of all voices.— London Chronicle. No Nickname with J. What you want to do for that kid," said the old bachelor, who had backed off suspicuously from the new baby, "is to call him something that can't be nicknamed. The way to do that Is to give him J for a middle Initial. I have made a study of proper names and their nicknames, and I have fig ured out that there Isn't one chance In a million of the boy whose middle name begins with J ever being nick named. Positive Immunity is guaran teed by William J. Just cast your eye over the William J's you have heard of, and see If one of them is ever called Bill by any except the hopeless ly Jocular, and even they don't dare say It to William J.'s face." Music of the Stone Age. The reproach that England Is not a musical nation will be no longer heard after the Army Pageant is pro duced next June. Mr. Christopher Wil son will shatter the Illusion. He is going to reproduce the music of the Stone Age by means of "marrowbones struck with flints, the hollow bone giving out a curiously resonant note." The same Instruments struck with knives will produce a "melodious con cord" representative of the Iron Age. Chloroform Zoo Animals. The practice of cutting the claws of the more ferocious animals of the London zoological garden has recently been greatly facilitated by chloroform ing the animals. Heretofore It was done by sheer force by a squad of men. the animal being first secured by ropes. Take Notice.
